Report summary

Brown University Department of Computer Science in 2015-2026 reads as a 33-PI network with 12 internal PI collaborations. The dominant subject mix is Computer Science as the leading field (42% of slots across 22 PIs; 22 labels), Artificial Intelligence as the leading subfield (11% of slots across 8 PIs; 8 labels), and Ethics and Social Impacts of AI as the leading topic (3% of slots across 3 PIs; 3 labels). That is of concern for a 33-PI roster; the strongest pairings may be carrying much of the visible collaboration. The leading PI names are Maurice Herlihy (12.5 weighted works; Blockchain Technology Applications and Security, Distributed systems and fault tolerance); Ritambhara Singh (11.7 weighted works; Epigenetics and DNA Methylation, Genomics and Chromatin Dynamics). The most visible ties are Steven P. Reiss and Xin Qi (5 shared works, weight 5). The leading breakdown groups are group 1 with 3 PIs, 2 internal connections, weight 6.6, around Computer Networks and Communications, Information Systems, Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, led by Maurice Herlihy, Sherief Reda, R. Iris Bahar.
